Answer:
During nuclear fission and fusion matter that seems to disappear but is actually converted into energy. The amount of energy (E) produced in such a reaction can be calculated using Einstein's formula for the equivalence of mass and energy: E = mc^2.
Explanation:
Answer: -112200J
Explanation:
The amount of heat (Q) released from an heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)
Thus, Q = MCΦ
Since,
Q = ?
Mass of water vapour = 30.0g
C = 187 J/ G°C
Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)
= 100°C - 120°C = -20°C
Then apply the formula, Q = MCΦ
Q = 30.0g x 187 J/ G°C x -20°C
Q = -112200J (The negative sign does indicates that heat was released to the surroundings)
Thus, -112200 joules of heat is released when cooling the superheated vapour.
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
